GUSTAVUS L. STUEBNER, OF LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK.

COAL-BUCKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 407,553, dated July 23, 1889.

Application filed February 15, 1888. Serial No. 264,081. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUSTAVUS LSTUEB- NER, of Long Island City, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Coal-Bucket, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention consists of the special construction of the bucket, all as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my new and improved coal-bucket, showing the same open I in dotted lines; and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the bucket as it appears when open, the section being taken on the line 00 ac in Fig. 1.

My new bucket is composed of the two se etions A 13, formed with straight meeting edges a b. The section A is formed with the sloping front A and sloping bottom A and is provided at its upper edge with the band C, the ends of which are extended past the edges to to form the arms (Z d, which are slightly curved downward to embrace the section B, to which arms the said section is pivoted or hinged upon the pins 0. The rim or band C is also formed or provided with the rigid bail 7, by which both sections are suspended. Hinged to the center of the bail C is the trigger D, formed with a notch e to engage with the stud f on the upper edge of the section B for locking the bucket closed, as shown in Fig. 1 The trigger is formed with the arm g for throwing the trigger out of engagement with the stud f, which will permit the section B to swing on the pins 0 away from the section A, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and thus drop out the contentsof the bucket.

The bottom of the section B is constructed to form the incline B, which meets the incline A of the section A and forms an obtuse angle, as shown clearly in Fig. 1, so that when the section B swings away from the section A thewhole contents of the bucket will be quickly discharged.

For locking the sections open I provide the section B with the pivoted arm M, having shoulder m, and provide the section A with the fixed stud m, with which the shoulder m is adapted to engage, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The section A of the bucket, formed or provided with rearwardly-projecting arms (I,

in combination with the section B, hinged to and between the ends of said arms, substantially as shown and described.

2. The section A,having the rim 0 and bail 0 made in one part and riveted to the section A, in combination with the hinged section B, substantially as described.

3. The section A, having the rim 0 formed with the bail C, and rearwardly-projecting arms (Z, in combination with the section B,

hinged to and between the arms (I, substantially as described.

4. The bail 0, having trigger D, in combination with the section A, arm (I, and section B, hinged to the arms (I, and provided with a locking-stud f for the said trigger D, substantially as described.
